" We celebrated our anniversary at Kanpai, and it was a delightful evening. The food was exquisite; I loved their unique takes on classics, like their spicy tuna rolls and marvelous desserts. The server was attentive, regularly checking in without being intrusive. The atmosphere was cozy with dim lighting, perfect for a romantic dinner. I'm already eager to come back for another special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'll be respectful; Kanpai has its ups and downs. Many times I've had delightful experiences, yet there were moments when freshness seemed questionable. My last visit had fresh sushi but the service was slower than usual. It’s certainly not without its charms and good food, but I do think they need to maintain quality consistently. I hope to see them on an upswing during my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having dined here several times, I've found Kanpai consistently delivers excellent food, albeit with slight variability in service. The sushi is always fresh, and they have unique offerings that keep me coming back. However, during one visit, I had to wait quite a while for my order and my server wasn't very mindful of drink refills. Still, I'll continue to recommend this place for its delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to love Kanpai but my recent visits left me questioning their quality. The sushi appears rushed and the fish looks less than fresh, especially for the price point. Service is generally friendly, though it lacked during my last experience with long waits for food. Hoping they can regain their former glory, as the sushi scene has many options. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed in my last experience with Kanpai. While I’ve always enjoyed the food, my last visit felt off. The service was very slow to take our orders, and my tempura was undercooked. It’s sad because I've had great meals here in the past. They need to tighten up their handling of orders and quality control. Here’s hoping it gets better next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Kanpai for the first time last week and was pleasantly surprised! The sushi was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. However, I must mention the service could improve—our waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed and it took a while to get our order taken. The atmosphere was inviting but could benefit from soft music to enhance the dining experience. Overall, I'd give it another shot, hoping for faster service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequently enjoy takeout from Kanpai, and I must say their sushi is consistently some of the best. It has a great selection to choose from and the quality is reliable. I often get the lunch specials, which provide generous portions for the price. My only complaint is that sometimes the takeout process feels rushed, and I’d love a bit more consistency in the service. Nevertheless, it remains one of my top picks in town! " (*Curated Review*)
